Headline: Roma Sets New Record at Old Trafford with Early Goals Against Manchester United
Roma made history at Old Trafford during their match against Manchester United. The Giallorossi scored twice in the first 18 minutes, thanks to goals from Soulé and Malen, establishing a new record at the iconic English stadium.
For the first time, a visiting team managed to net two goals so early in a major European match at Old Trafford. Soulé broke through in the 11th minute, and just seven minutes later, Malen added a second from the penalty spot.

This achievement is unprecedented for all major European competitions hosted at Manchester United’s home ground, as no visiting team had scored two goals within the first 17 minutes of play before.
The significance of this start is heightened by the teams’ previous encounters. Roma had faced Manchester United four times at Old Trafford between 2007 and 2021, suffering defeats in all those matches.
